As determined by the Waterloo Wellington Caregiver Voices survey, patients and families report lack of communication between hospital and community partners regarding palliative patient discharge planning. This is negatively impacting palliative patient care in the community.
This IDEAS team focused on the following project level aim;
All Grand River Hospital palliative patients who have a PPS score of 40% or less will have an integrated palliative plan of care in place at the time of discharge to community by March 2019.
